Richard Ham, Jeremy Clarkson 's micro-pig, appeared to have more than doubled in size since being introduced to fans on the programme during the latest series.
Jezza affectionately named the pig after his former Top Gear co-star Richard Hammond who took a trip to the Oxfordshire farm for the programme.
Whilst Richard Ham was then rather a small pig - the new clip has proved that things are all change for the farmyard animal.
Alongside a video clip of the pig sniffing and snorting around, a caption read: "Look who it is!!! It's Richard 'porker' Ham."
Fans were left shocked at his size as they begged Jezza and his girlfriend Lisa Hogan to keep the pig and look after him as they begged for him not to be turned into meat.
One person said: "Yayy! I'm so glad Richard Ham is still with you, keep him forever!"
Another added: "Oh Hurrah! Richard Ham is still around - please keep him or let him go to a petting farm, where he can live a happy life."
A third then said: "He's gorgeous…. Please don't send me off to the meat packers….. please, please, please keep him…..
"I'm not a veggie either but I do love him."
Before someone else chimed in: "Blimey not so little Richard anymore."
Jeremy Clarkson brings back beloved part of Clarkson's Farm after U-turn
Jeremy previously revealed that he would be keeping the pig at the farm in order for it to make friends with the female pigs he owned.
He confessed he was hoping Richard was able to get the next lot of female pigs 'in the mood' — and is likened to late Playboy boss Hugh Hefner.
Jeremy says: 'The problem is, if he goes on the lorry, he's killed and all we get in return is chipolata and a pork chop the size of a walnut.
'If he stays here, we've got to feed him for no reason.
'And that's not farming.
'But the next lot of sows, we're going to use artificial insemination on them, to make them pregnant.
'But we can't do that until they get in heat and they won't get in heat unless there's man pig nearby.
'So why don't we keep him as the farm's man pig, to get the ladies in the mood?
'Good old Richard Ham — you could be Hugh Hefner now!'

Series 2
This series sees Jeremy look for ways to increase the farm's revenue.
One such example is bringing in a herd of cows although this isn't without its issues.
Jeremy also had the idea to convert the abandoned lambing barn into a restaurant where he could sell his meat from the farm.
For this plan to move forward, he had to get planning permission from the local council.
Viewers also meet Pepper, a heifer among the herd who ultimately becomes the star's favourite.
Series 3
The third series contained some of the show's most emotional moments to date.
In heartbreaking scenes, dozens of newborn piglets died as a result of overlaying - their mother rolling on to them.
Jeremy said goodbye to his favourite pig - the Baroness - after she developed cancer and needed to be put down.
Dry stonewall expert and "head of security" Gerald Cooper was diagnosed with cancer.
Jeremy and Kaleb began a competition between themselves - with Kaleb looking after the arable side and Jeremy taking the non-arable elements.
Fellow farmers - and famous faces - Andy Cato and George Lamb appear in this series

‘I respect them and I support their message': How Kneecap won over Glastonbury's masses
This was a day of political pantomime at Glastonbury, a day when the usual chilled out vibes were replaced by something altogether more febrile and excitable. The chants of 'Free Palestine' that have peppered the site over the last 48 hours came to a head during three sets on the West Holts stage: from British singer Nilüfer Yanya, London hip hop duo Bob Vylan and the folk devils du jour, Irish hip hop band Kneecap. Palestinian flags made up around half the banners at these gigs, and they pepper the entire festival too. In sweltering heat, Yanya's set closed with a backdrop that read 'More action, less noise, free Palestine' (the exhausted lunchtime crowd let out a feeble whoop), while Bob Vylan blasted execs in the music industry who supported Isreal. Vylan's set culminated in him leading the chant 'Kill the IDF', supported by a full-throated crowd, even if every audience member didn't partake. But the heat rose even further with Kneecap, whose pro-Palestinian stance and politicised, cartoony rap drew one of the biggest crowds the West Holts – Glastonbury's third biggest stage – has ever seen, and certainly at 4pm. This is my 22 nd time at this event and I can't recall more anticipation over a mid-afternoon act. Tens of thousands of people were crammed onto this tiny patch of Somerset grass, a crowd so big that organisers closed the field an hour before they came on. In the shadow of Glastonbury Tor, orange and green flares blazed as chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Free Mo Chara' (the latter a reference to the band's rapper who is alleged to have displayed a flag in support of Hezbollah) echoed around the Vale of Avalon. It's unlikely that residents of the sweetly bucolic nearby village of Pilton have ever heard anything like it. 'I respect them and I support their message, and that's why I'm here,' says Sian, 27, who has seen the band before and says they're 'amazing'. 'They're controversial but they're trying to spread a message.' Ah yes. The message. Moral panic has swept the nation about this performance, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer saying it shouldn't happen. Behind the scenes, some big-name execs within the music industry have been lobbying Glastonbury to drop the band. But happen it did, with festival organiser Emily Eavis saying on Wednesday that all performers are 'welcome'. What's more, the whole thing was meant to be filmed by the BBC. 'The BBC's editor is going to have some f---ing job,' said Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, stage name Mó Chara, half way through the set. But that wasn't the case. The live feed was cut, despite the previous band – rock-rap duo Bob Vylan – having their set broadcast. At the time of writing it is not clear whether the BBC will show edited highlights of Kneecap or not. Here's a Kneecap recap. The West Belfast group are Republican hip hop musicians who rap largely in the Irish language and have never hidden their disdain for the British government (they're named after the grim punishment meted out by the IRA). In April, the rappers hit the headlines when they displayed a message at California's Coachella accusing Israel of 'committing genocide against the Palestinian people'. Film then emerged of the band urging people to kill their local MP (they apologised). And earlier this month, member Ó hAnnaidh (Mo Chara), appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, charged with a terror offence for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah at a London gig last year. The 27-year-old was bailed and will next appear in court on August 20 – in a previous statement, his band denied the offence. Chara received a hero's welcome at the Pyramid Stage. Chara's two bandmates – Naoise Ó Cairealláin, known as Móglaí Bap, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, known as DJ Próvaí, a former teacher who also wears a balaclava in the colours of the Irish tricolour – bounded around in the broiling heat, crowd-surfing, encouraging a mosh pit and generally stoking the cauldron of chaos. The trio thanked the organising Eavis family for standing by them amid pressure to cancel the show. I lost count of the number of times chants of 'F--- Keir Starmer' and 'Free Palestine' rang out. The crowd was crushingly tight to be in. There was never a sense that things could tip into violence though. The concert was what I'd call an angry celebration. The band were preaching to the converted here. One 26-year-old audience member has snuck away from his friends to watch Kneecap today. 'A lot of them are Jewish, and I have to keep it quiet,' he says. But his motives aren't what you'd expect. His mum runs an Irish centre in Leeds and he picked up the Irish language through his grandfather. Despite their almost-cancellation in the outside world, Kneecap really connect with people. 'You're just a s--- Jeremy Corbyn,' went one chant about Starmer. Kneecap's politics can be something of a joke. Then there's this. The bare faces of the people wearing balaclavas in the audience suggested they weren't even born when the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998. To them, shorn of all context, this is dress-up. Cosplay. Riverdance for rebels. And once the concert was over, these same hoards dispersed to watch chart-friendly performers such as Raye, Charli XCX or the Scissor Sisters. Kneecap provided a 'moment' for sure. Fans were happy. Walking out, Vincent Poel, 28, said there was 'exactly the right amount' of politics in the trio's set. But, at the end of the day and after all the noise, this was just entertainment.

EXCLUSIVE Tommy Fury shares hug with Molly-Mae Hague lookalike during wild night out as he parties until the early hours - following his reconciliation with the influencer
shared a hug with his brother Roman's girlfriend, who strikes a remarkable resemblance to his own partner Molly-Mae Hague, during a wild night out in Cheshire on Friday. The boxer, 26, was spotted on the rare outing without his former fiancée, also 26, who he met on Love Island in 2019 and split from last year, before reconciling. Tommy, who shares two-year-old daughter Bambi with the influencer, said the reason their romance ended was down to his excessive drinking. He showcased his buff physique in a tight black top and matching cargo trousers as he danced the night away with a large group of pals and partied into the early hours. First Tommy was seen at the Bubble Room in Alderley Edge before heading over to The Symposium night club where he is said to have ended his evening at 2am. He chatted intently his brother's partner before she wrapped her arms around his neck for a friendly embrace. The Symposium is owned by Hollyoaks star Ashley Taylor Dawson, 43, best known for his role as Darren Osborne in the Channel 4 soap. Customers can splash the cash on private booths that cost up to £1200 and come with bottles of pricey champagne. It was recently claimed that a feud is brewing between Molly and Tommy 's families over their decision to give their relationship another go. Earlier this month, a report from The Sun suggested that Molly-Mae's sister Zoe was concerned about them getting back together. In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly. This in turn reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris. A source told the publication: 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' The insider added that Paris is confused as to why Zoe would try to hinder the family getting back together. Despite the claims, Tommy finally made his return to Molly-Mae's YouTube vlogs for the first time since the couple's shock split. After months of rumours that they had rekindled their romance, the couple finally confirmed they were back on by going Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap with their daughter Bambi. But Molly-Mae has insisted the pair are taking it slow this time around, with the boxer still not moving back in to her Cheshire mansion, and not being shown on her vlogs - until now. Her latest video diary released last week, saw Tommy back on camera again, announcing: 'The wanderer has returned! Like nothing ever changed.' And the couple looked as loved-up as ever, as they cosied up together and burst into a fit of giggles, before Tommy even leaned in for a kiss and bid Molly goodbye with an 'I love you'. And Molly-Mae even reflected on it feeling 'a little bit full circle' as the pair caught a glimpse of the beginning of their love story, as they watched Love Island anniversary special. To mark 10 years of the show, ITV aired a one-off Love Island: Decade of Love last week, where they celebrated Molly-Mae and Tommy as one of their biggest success stories. The pair fell for each other in front of the nation during series five in 2019, before going on to welcome daughter Bambi and get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when they announced they'd split on Instagram in August, with Tommy later revealing Molly ended their romance over his excessive drinking. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.'
